Abnormal grain growth in alumina was investigated during sinter-HIP process for better understanding of pressure effect on microstructural development. Abnormal grain growth of monolithic alumina was observed near surface region rather than interior region of specimen. Finite element analysis was used to estimate the pressure distribution developed in the specimen. Pressure distribution analysis was in good agreement with grain size distributjion in the specimen. The results of finite element analysis provided that abnormal grain growth monolithic alumina was resulted from the inhomogeneous pressure distribution in the specimen. MgO addition in alumina was effective for the suppression of abnormal grain growth in alumina under inhomogeneous pressure distribution during sinter-HIP process.

A packaging technology based on flip-chip bonding and Pb-free solder for silicon pressure sensors on printed circuit board (PCB) is presented. First, the bump formation process was conducted by Pb-free solder. Ag-Sn-Cu solder and the pressed-screen printing method were used to fabricate solder bumps. The fabricated solder bumps had $189-223{\mu}m$ width, $120-160{\mu}m$ thickness, and 5.4-6.9 standard deviation. Also, shear tests was conducted to measure the bump shear strength by a Dage 2400 PC shear tester; the average shear strength was 74 g at 0.125 mm/s of test speed and $5{\mu}m$ shear height. Then, silicon pressure sensor packaging was implemented using the Pb-free solder and bump formation process. The characteristics of the pressure sensor were analogous to the results obtained when the pressure sensor dice are assembled and packaged using the standard wire-bonding technique.

A simulation study on SCR (Steam Carbon dioxide Reforming) process in gas-to-liquid (natural gas to Fischer-Tropsch synthetic fuel) process was carried out in order to find optimum reaction conditions for GTL (gas-to-liquid) process reaction. Optimum SCR operating conditions for synthesis gas to FT (Fischer-Tropsch) process were determined by changing reaction variables such as feed temperature and pressure. During the simulation, overall synthesis process was assumed to proceed under steady-state conditions. It was also assumed that physical properties of reaction medium were governed by RKS (Redlich-Kwong-Soave) equation. SCR process was considered as reaction models for synthesis gas in GTL proess. The effect of temperature and pressure on SCR process $H_2$/CO ratio and the effect of reaction pressure on SCR reaction were mainly examined. Simulation results were also compared to experimental results to confirm the reliability of simulation model. Simulation results were reasonably well matched with experimental results.

The milli-components for electronic and medical device etc. have been manufactured by conventional process. Forming and machining process for those milli-components need tremendous cost and time because products require higher dimensional accuracy than the conventional ones. For instance, conventional mechanical punching process has many drawbacks for applying to high accuracy products. The final radius of hole can be varied and burr which interrupting another procedure is generated. Hydro-mechanical punching process makes possible to reduce amount of burr and obtain the fine shearing surface using the operating fluid. Hydrostatic pressure retards occurrence of initial crack and induces to locate the fracture surface in the middle of sheet to thickness direction. In this paper, Hydro-mechanical punching process is analyzed using finite element method and the effect of hydrostatic pressure is evaluated during punching process. The prediction of fracture is performed adopting the various ductile fracture criteria such as Cockcroft, Brozzo and Oyane's criterion using a user subroutine in ABAQUS explicit.

In this study, an optimization process design has been performed to separate 99.9 mol% of Isobutyl Acetate from binary azeotropic mixture of Isobutyl Acetate and Isobutyl Alcohol system using a Pressure Swing Distillation (PSD). PSD is used to separate binary azeotropic mixtures using the difference between the relative volatilities and azeotropic compositions by changing the system pressure. Non-Random Two Liquid (NRTL) model for liquid phase and the Peng-Robinson equation for vapor phase are used. An optimization study for the reflux ratio and feed stage locations which minimize the total reboiler heat duties are studied. Since PSD process consists of two columns, i.e. high pressure and low pressure, the effect of column sequence on the optimum conditions is reported.

In this study we have investigated surface morphologies of as-deposited silicon films on the various deposition conditions using LPCVD(Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition) System. The processing conditions such as deposition temperature, pressure and flow rate of $SiH_4$ gas were found to determine the surface morphology. The optimum temperature of maximum effective surface area increased with increasing the deposition pressure and the flow rate of $SiH_4$ gas, These experimental results were also in quite good agreement with the equation derived under the assumption that the maximum effective surface area is obtained on the condition of maximum nucleation rate.

A rapid expansion of moist air or steam in a supersonic nozzle gives rise to condensation, and the total pressure of the flow is decreased due to this irreversibility of condensation phenomenon. In the present paper, the loss in total pressure during the condensation process has been studied, by numerical analysis and pressure measurement, in the case of moist air expanding in a supersonic nozzle. The effects of the degree of supersaturation at the stagnation condition and expansion rate of the nozzle on the total pressure loss have been studied. The length of the region where the total pressure decreases during the condensation process is longer than that of the nonequilibrium condensation region, and of difference between the length of these two increases with the increase of the degree of supersaturation at the stagnation condition. Furthermore, the larger the expansion rate of the nozzle and the higher the temperature and the degree of supersaturation at the reservoir are, the larger the total pressure loss of the flow becomes. And, it is turned out that the total pressure loss be about 2 to 8 percent in the present study.

The influences of cooling pressure of quenching process on the mechanical properties such as hardness, impact endurance and anti-thermal fatigue behaviour of STD61 steel were investigated. The specimens were heat-treated using a vacuum furnace in which they were austenitized at $1,030^{\circ}C$ for 1hour under the pressure of $10^{-3}$ torr and cooled with quenching gas of various pressure, i.e. 1, 2 and 6 bar. According to the observation on the specimens prepared with quenching from austenizing temperature, the mechanical properties of the samples with higher quenching pressure were better than those of prepared at lower quenching pressure. The samples prepared with high quenching pressure showed the more homogeneous microstructure with finer carbides. The size of carbides such as VC and (Fe, Cr)C in quenched specimens decreased with increasing gas quenching pressure. It is considered that the rapid cooling with pressure may restrict the formation and growth of carbide.

A high-pressure hose includes rebar layers of the synthetic fiber such as nylon or a steel wire to control internal pressure. The hose assembly is manufactured through the swaging process to clamp the hose into the metal fittings. Usually, the hose behavior is affected by the resultant of the longitudinal and circumferential forces produced by the internal pressure. The rebar layers can appear the most ideal rebar effect when they are arranged to the same direction as the resultant force. The braid angle applied in the rebar layers is an important factor in determining ultimate burst pressure and overall hose life. Failure can occur on the contacted parts of a hose with the metal fittings under severe operating conditions such as high pressure and temperature of the inner fluid. In this paper, the mechanical behavior between the hose and the metal fittings during the swaging process and the stress variation characteristics of a high-pressure hose under a constant applied pressure are analyzed with respect to the braid angle of steel wire using the finite element method.
